a phrase i used to ask all the time as a teen but now seem to dread as an adult. especially during the holiday season…. what fun catering to drunk family members , and draining your bank account.
all the same , all is well. child has already begun to ask about her presents and incessantly demands to open at least one before christmas,….please , please please !!!! just a small one, just one
sigh…
NO!
cue teenage mutant ninja
so each time now when she gets home from school she finds a the same lil red gift bag with blue tissue on her desk….
so far it has contained :
-one pack of chewing gum
-one pack of ferrero chocolate
-a set of furry leopard slippers
-a pocket size tissue pack
-a nickel (yes, 0.05$)
i started to get the eye roll treatment when she hit the slippers, then shed gone silent as i reminded her she asked for one small gift and i’ve provided more, how dare she feel ungrateful… tisk, tisk your the one that asked
i think that tomorrow this lil red bag will contain “plastic” utensils in order to eat her food with
back to wrapping gifts for friends and family
hope your holiday season is a good one and this coming year better then what we all went through. long days, happy nights , health and happiness to you and yours.
